Are they "stoners"? No, says the ad, which has the words crossed out, replaced by more dignified titles – cop, nurse, teacher, scientist, are just a few examples.

"Marijuana still carries a stigma that surfaces with the use of old slang like pot and weed," the Anchorage Daily News reported back in January. "For many, the words evoke an image of lazy, not-so-bright people who puff their lives away."

Get a villa with an extra bedroom! It doesn't have to be as big as my current one nor does it needs walk in closets or a Jacuzzi tub. Just a room big enough for a bed so I can afford it. My own retirement plan unraveled a year into it so I'm counting on you man.
